 OBJECTED TO BY CHURCH.
 The county commissioners yesterday had hearings on the objected to applications for liquor licenses of John J. Flynn on Broad street, Ann Gum and M. J. Thumpane of James street. The commissioners have de- cided that J. v. Cameron of this city, who applied for liquor license for the Wallace House in Cheshire, be granted only hotel license, which will allow him to sell only to guests of the house. The hotel is next to the Congregational church in that place, and the members objected to a license being given. The license which has been given him does away with the general barroom, so objec- tionable to the church.
